Calendar app icon to display the current {day of week} and {day of month}
Background
The Proton Calendar app on iOS (and presumably Android )currently appears like a blueish/purple square with a small "31" in the bottom right corner. The "31" is static and doesn't change.
The official Apple Calendar app icon has the name of the day (e.g. "SAT") and the day of the month (e.g. "13") on the icon itself, making the app icon useful at a glance without even requiring the user to open the app.
Proposal:
It would be very cool and very useful if the "31" on the Proton Calendar app icon actually changed to represent the current day of the month. It would be even better if the Proton Calendar icon could be redesigned to show the same information as the Apple Calendar icon.
Conclusion:
As it currently stands, I need to keep the Apple Calendar icon on my iOS screen simply because it's useful, even if I intend to use the Proton Calendar app for my actual day-to-day work. This is a minor annoyance but it would be satisfying to finally be able to remove the Apple Calendar app from my iOS screen.

Proton Mail
Two suggestions: First, replace the word "Messages" with either "email" or "mail" on all webpages and across all platforms because most users associate the word "messages" with text messages. Second, standardize the icon, appearance and wording for the INBOX, DRAFT, SENT, TRASH, etc. across all webpages and platforms for consistency. As an example the icon and text that shows in the Proton Mac version is different than what is shown in the iPad version. Again, make it consistent.

Please display the appointment title in the subject line of reminder emails
Please display the appointment title in the subject line of reminder emails. This is very practical, especially if you use your inbox as a task list. Currently, only the date and time of the appointment are included in the subject line.

Proton Mail Desktop - Print attachments
In the Proton Mail Desktop app, you can download or open attached files. Would be nice to have a 'print' feature on the opened attachment, to print the document.

Badge counters for labels/tags in Proton Mail
It would be very useful to optionally display a message count badge on specific labels. For example, being able to see how many emails are currently under tags like “Pending”, “Later”, or “TODO” would make it much easier to stay on top of tasks and follow-ups.
Today, labels already help with organizing mail, but without a visible count it’s easy to miss what still needs attention. Snooze helps in some cases, but it’s not a full replacement since I don’t always want to set reminders—sometimes I just want to categorize and clear the inbox without losing track.
A simple optional toggle like “Show message count on label” would solve this well.

Simple Contacts button or Contacts app on the PC version
Add a separate Contacts app or Contacts button for the PC version of Mail. It's hard to modify contacts from the PC version of Mail. It's annoying that I have to log in to the web version just to access the Contacts button in the browser. The older mail programs were easier to use and were more efficient. Some people may want to import and export Contacts from other apps. They may want to create labels. Apply this to all desktop versions (PC, Apple, Linux).

Quality of email life issues and suggestions
All mail: I understand that this could be from a 'trying to make the transition from Gmail smoother' perspective. However, I have had major issues with Gmail, of certain mail only going to All mail and not showing up in my inbox. I would really appreciate if there was a way to turn this off because I never check All mail. I understand that people can find it very useful. I find it to be the exact opposite, and my brain doesn’t work well with the idea of having an inbox, all the rest of the folders, and All mail, that could potentially need to be checked.
The interface feels cluttered. Maybe it’s because I like the more 'metro' feel but there’s so many things that are high contrasted into buttons or sections and frankly there’s so many little icons to work with that it feels very busy. There’s a lot pulling in my attention in different directions even if it’s something that I barely use or never use. It would be awesome to have a way to customize the interface even more, so you can go on hide certain things.
I don’t know if this is something privacy related, but when I open up an email the header and the subject line are all in the dark mode theme that I have set, yet, the body of the email shows up in the light mode, it hurts my eyes. My use of dark mode isn’t just a preference. It’s actually better for my very migraine sensitive, and migraine prone, head and is more soothing on my eyes. It’s surprises me that Microsoft and Apple both manage to have a cohesive dark mode throughout the email, including the body of the email itself, whereas Proton doesn’t seem to have that feature. Is it something dealing with not scanning emails or not interacting with the actual body of the email? It seems strange because the header, which is where the actual email address is, shows up in dark mode.

Move contents of folder to inbox category
Before inbox categories were added, I had a "Payments" folder already set up and well-sorted, exactly like the new Payment category. I would like to move the entirety of its contents to the inbox under the Payments category so I can take advantage of auto-filtering already provided by Proton.
Selecting all mail in the folder and then attempting to "move to folder" only shows the primary inbox as an option, without the option of moving to a category. Dragging the folder from the sidebar to the category in the webapp does not work.
It would maybe make more sense for inbox categories to be an option to move to from any view or folder.

Improve Default Address Handling for Forwarded/BCC Emails
Currently, the "Default Address (Custom Domain)" works only when emails are sent directly to it or to linked catch-all addresses. If the domain's MX does not point to Proton (e.g., it points to a forwarding service), Proton uses the actual recipient address (usually @proton.me) instead of my Default (Custom Domain) address when replying.
Note: In this scenario, it does not work even if the Custom Domain address is already set as the Default.Example: domain.com points its MX to a mailing list, which then forwards emails to my @proton.me and @gmail.com mailboxes. When a sender emails to @domain.com and the message is forwarded to my @proton.me address, I can't automatically reply using my Default Address (@domain.com). I must manually switch the From address from @proton.me to @domain.com.
I suggest adding checks for forwarded and BCC emails (i.e., in scenarios where "Header To ≠ RCPT TO"):
If "Header To ≠ RCPT TO", check whether the Header To address matches the user's Default Address.
If yes, use the Default Address when replying; otherwise, follow the existing Reply logic.
This ensures that replies consistently use the user's Default (Custom Domain) Address even for forwarded and BCC emails.

'Send' button becomes 'Send as scheduled' when editing a scheduled mail
Because we are already editing a scheduled mail, it makes sense that the 'Send' button follows the scheduled date, and becomes 'Send as scheduled'. This would prevent mistakes if we finish editing and we hit 'Send' thinking we are saving it for the scheduled date.

Smaller Time Increments For Scheduled Email Send Timing
For Proton Mail
I really appreciate the addition of the email scheduling feature and use it a lot when working at odd hours or across time zones. The current setup which allows emails to be scheduled on the hour or half hour works fine, but there are cases where smaller increments such as down to the minute would be helpful.
Firstly it makes the experience for the recipient seem less automated if a sender or recipient care about that. Secondly there are times when I'd like to schedule an initial email to a person or group and then another to arrive anywhere from 2-20minutes thereafter, particularly if I'm responding to multiple threads on different topics with the same person or group. It helps create the illusion the emails are happening in real time, prevents the recipient(s) from getting inundated with a big batch to work through possibly creating inertia, and staging them also lets me set a bit of a priority in what the recipients see and pull focus to first.
I'm sure there are more reasons this would be helpful and I look forward to learning more about those from everyone's comments.

Mail keyboard shortcut to toggle Column/Row layout
Very often I get an email that has too much content or too small a font to read in the Column view that I usually have enabled (because having to click into every email that comes in is insane). The only way to go "full screen" on the email is to switch into Row view. But I have to open up the settings (which further constrains limited laptop real estate), toggle, read my email, then toggle back, and hide settings.
If I could just quickly press some key combo to do the layout toggling, it would make reading my emails much easier.

booking pages
This might be an allocation or logic difference. While one Appointment Scheduling link is usually ok for most individuals. Please keep in mind that calendar applications have always been marketed to office workers with limited time. On the family/personal account side, having a private link to update the calendar would be nice.
The use case I am specifically thinking of is my Wife working retail, where the schedule is not 8/9-5. It shifts and is only known 2-3 weeks out. I would be nice for her to be able to go to a link and quickly post her 7-10 hour blocks through a link instead of having to constantly manually recreate her time blocks for each day. This would need 2 external links not just the one. We are moving to a business plan to cover this scenario.

Aliases leak original email when attaching public keys
When attaching a public key to an email sent using an alias will leak the original email by two ways:
1. With the public key name
2. Into the pgp key into the user identifier valueI don't know if it could be mitigated but is good to all know that you will leak your original email when attaching the public key
